Monday July 22 was our 36th day on the Big Ride and our 7th century ride. We rode 109.9 miles from Valparaiso to Kendallville Indiana. We were fortunate to have cool and cloudy weather for most of the ride. Temps were in the 70's. The terrain was flat which translated to fast riding. The Q sheet ( daily riding instructions) was 2 and 1/2 pages long, the longest we have had so far. Following directions was really important to avoid getting bonus miles. 6 of us rode together today to double check ourselves on the directions and to keep the tempo high. Thanks to the Kendallville Parks Department for providing an excellent dinner and breakfast for tomorrow. Tonight we are camping at Bixler Lake Park. We have shifted over to the Eastern Time Zone so we will most likely feel the loss of the hour when we wake up tomorrow at the crack of dawn for our 70 mile ride into Ohio!

There's a song that goes "Indiana wants me, but I can't go back there..." The ride across Iowa is going on now (RAGBRAI) from the news I gather that the riders gain weight.
